- Purpose of CSCE 590I
- Familiarize students with algorithms data
structures for computational molecular biology - Develop a cadre of bioinformatics researchers in
CSE - Contribute to developing a bioinformatics
curriculum - This course will eventually become a standard
course offering.

Algorithms and Data Structures
- CSE at USC is aggressively entering the field of
bioinformatics. - We offer fellowships in computational molecular
biology http//www.engr.sc.edu/release.asp?PID10
013 - We currently collaborate with researchers in
Biology, Statistics, Mathematics, Pharmacy, and
Medicine - We need more capable student researchers.
- Dr. Rose always has an ulterior motive for
anything he does.

- Ideal Background (listed in no particular order)
- Biology
- Computer Science
- Statistics
- Biochemistry
- Mathematics
- In short, bioinformatics is the domain of the
renaissance scholar.
5CSCE 590I Special Topics Bioinformatics
Algorithms and Data Structures
- CSE students are expected to have adequate STAT
and MATH background but probably not BIOL CHEM - Basic sequence in molecular biology genetics
- BIOL 302
- BIOL 303
- BIOL 545
- Prerequisites for the above sequence
- BIOL 101 and 102
- CHEM 111, 112, 333, and 334
- Appropriate labs for listed BIOL and CHEM courses
6CSCE 590I Special Topics Bioinformatics
Algorithms and Data Structures
- Non-CSE students are expected to have adequate
STAT, MATH, BIOL CHEM but probably not CSE. - Basic CSE analytic background
- CSCE 350
- Transitive closure of CSE prerequisites for CSCE
350 - CSCE 145
- CSCE 146
- CSCE 240
- CSCE 245
- Appropriate labs for listed CSCE courses
7CSCE 590I Special Topics Bioinformatics
Algorithms and Data Structures
- Expected Background(listed in no particular
order) - Biology or
- Computer Science or
- Math or
- Statistics or
- Biochemistry
- The consequence is that you will have to apply
yourself to wrap your mind around ideas from
other disciplines.

- Additional information describing this course can
be found on the course webpage. - This page will be updated regularly to reflect
the developments in this experimental course. - Yes, you are part of an experiment!
- Now we will look at the class webpage and go over
course topics, grading, cheating policy, etc.
